Since last two posts, we have established a good tempo and talking about Colours! Right? Yesterday, I was compiling all the notes for this post and was sorting topics. And while doing that, I was sort of thinking to ask my doubts to some one who can answer me well. While thinking about that I started dreaming of a meeting with such a one. I immediately called him and asked for his appointment and to my surprise he agreed. And you know what? Today, We have that very spacial guest with us.

‘Mr. Light’ himself. Yes The Great Mr. LIGHT HIMSELF! Ta Da!

Me: Hello Sir!

Mr. L: Hi Mahesh, how are you?

Me: I’m Great! Its my pleasure to see you. And how do you do, sir!

Mr. L: Pretty straightforward. But Mahesh, I am afraid that I have very short time for discussion now. I have to go to my friends birthday. Her name is twinkle. In next 15 seconds I have to reach there. So ask it quickly.

Me: OK, OK. Sir. I will ask you as fast as possible! I was discussing with my friends about how do we ‘see’. Can you describe us, how do we humans see colours? We would love if, you will put some light on that.

I was shocked when I heard recently the News, “Gearge Lucas is planning to sell his company ‘LucasFilms’ and is planning to retire too”. It was a really shocking news to me. Cause, like me, I am sure people of my age and around, have grown up watching films from lucasfilms. Who can forget StarWars, Jurassic park, Terminators, Mummy upto very recent films Pirates of the Caribbean, Transformers, Harry Potter, Narnia or Rango. I was in 9th or 10th when I first saw Jurassic Park. And the horrifying effect of the dinosaurs remained in my mind so long. Such films had created immense attraction and curiosity about film making, graphics and spacial effects, in thousands of minds. My carrier too was developed observing and studying films by ILM (a franchise of Lucasfilms). For people of my generation ILM is like the God in Spacial effects films. And now the News comes ‘ Lucas to retire’. Obviously bad.
